dependabot-alerts.mjs's openAlerts() has no error handling for a rate-limited or partially-failed GitHub API response

Comienza con openAlerts() en scripts/dependabot-alerts.mjs y compara su llamada a gh api con isPermissionDenied() y el manejo existente. Ejecuta scripts/dependabot-alerts.test.mjs y, después, añade cobertura para respuestas paginadas limitadas por tasa y parcialmente fallidas. La tarea está terminada cuando los fallos se gestionan deliberadamente sin una excepción no controlada y las pruebas de las rutas negativas pasan.

N/A — this is a static code-review finding against the 2.7.0 tag's scripts/dependabot-alerts.mjs, not a live reproduction against a running MCP server.

Steps to reproduce

Found via static review of the 2.7.0 tag source, not a live run.

1. scripts/dependabot-alerts.mjs's isPermissionDenied() (~line 737) explicitly detects and handles rate-limiting for the "is Dependabot security-fixes enabled" check, and main() has a test covering "continues, reporting UNVERIFIED, when the token cannot read the setting."
2. The actual alert-listing function, openAlerts() (~lines 797-805), calls gh api --paginate --slurp repos/${repo}/dependabot/alerts?state=open&per_page=100 with no try/catch or equivalent handling around that call, unlike the permission-check path.
3. A repo-wide read of the co-located scripts/dependabot-alerts.test.mjs finds tests for the permission-check rate-limit path but no negative-path test exercising openAlerts() itself against a rate-limited (403/429) or partially-failed (paginated request cut off mid-stream) GitHub API response.
   No live run against the GitHub API was performed; this is based on reading the script and its test file against the 2.7.0 tag.

Expected behavior

openAlerts() handles a rate-limited (403/429) or partially-failed paginated response from the GitHub API the same deliberate way isPermissionDenied() already handles rate-limiting for the security-fixes-setting check — either surfacing a clear, non-crashing error/UNVERIFIED result, or retrying — rather than letting an unhandled exception propagate out of gh api.

Actual behavior

openAlerts() calls gh api --paginate --slurp repos/${repo}/dependabot/alerts?state=open&per_page=100 with no try/catch and no test covering what happens when that call is rate-limited or fails partway through a paginated response — in contrast to the permission-check path a few functions away, which explicitly detects and handles rate-limiting (isPermissionDenied(), covered by tests at lines 234-253 of the test file).

Suggested fix: wrap openAlerts()'s gh api call in the same kind of error handling as the permission-check path (detect rate-limit/partial-failure, surface a clear error or retry), and add a negative-path test for it alongside the existing rate-limit test for isPermissionDenied().
